Chapter 973: 882 Immortal Fruit (Seeking Monthly Votes)

Half a day later, the giant blue ship halted in the airspace above a low hillock, ahead was a vast Peach Blossom Forest with numerous petals scattered on the ground, and the air was thick with the fragrance of flowers.

"Your Excellency, this is the place."

Shen Ou pointed to the Peach Blossom Forest ahead.

Shen Long’s Divine Sense swept out broadly, but he detected nothing unusual, and Shen Chan’s eyes radiated golden light, yet also found no Restrictions.

Shen Long summoned an Ape Puppet Beast, attaching a wisp of his Divine Soul to it.

He formed a spell with his hands, and the Ape Puppet Beast flew into the Peach Blossom Forest ahead.

The void rippled, and the Ape Puppet Beast vanished.

"Interesting, it seems that the Formation set up here is not simple; it destroyed an Eighth Rank Puppet Beast and my wisp of Divine Soul that quickly."

Shen Long’s face revealed a thoughtful expression.

"Let me break the Formation! So many years have passed, the power of the Formation shouldn’t be much left."

Shen Lang volunteered bravely.

Before this, it was Shen Lang who had broken the Formation of the Thousand Wood Hall.

"No, the last Formation indeed didn’t possess much power, but the Formation here is obviously more formidable, I should do it!"

Shen Long said.

His body shimmered with a bright red light, transforming into a massive Vermilion Bird, wrapped in fierce flames.

The giant blue ship quickly retreated, staying clear of the Vermilion Bird.

With a soft flap of its wings, the Vermilion Bird emitted a red light ring from its body, rapidly expanding.

Wherever the red light ring passed, the ground surged with a mass of red flames, and any grass or trees that touched these red flames turned to ash instantly.

An area of tens of thousands of miles turned into a sea of red fire, with flames soaring into the sky, tearing the void apart, an alarming sight.

Some peach trees were submerged in the fierce flames yet remained unharmed.

After a while, the ground shook violently, and a huge yellow light shot up into the sky, piercing the clouds.

The Peach Blossom Forest vanished, replaced by a giant valley covered in yellow mist, with a monstrous bird corpse and the remains of a Puppet Beast outside the valley.

The Vermilion Bird reverted to human form, taking on the appearance of Shen Long.

Shen Lang summoned two more Ape Puppet Beasts, controlling them to head towards the valley.

No sooner had they entered the valley than a piercing swooshing sound arose, and dozens of thick yellow light blades flew out from the yellow mist, successively striking them.

With thunderous booms, the two Ape Puppet Beasts, as if made of paper, were sliced into pieces by the dense yellow light blades.

"This Formation is indeed more powerful than the previous one, and that also indicates the resources here are more precious."

Shen Long spoke in a deep voice, taking strides into the valley, Shen Peng hurriedly following.

Shen Lang, Shen Jiu, and the others remained on the giant blue ship as backup forces.

As soon as Shen Long and Shen Peng entered the valley, dense yellow light blades came flying out from within the yellow mist, aiming straight at them.

With a booming shout from Shen Long, he emitted a yellow sonic wave, shattering the incoming yellow light blades, and advanced into the yellow mist with Shen Peng.

Soon, a huge roaring sound erupted, and the giant valley shook violently.

Half an hour later, the yellow fog inside the valley dispersed, revealing a vast manor inscribed with the words "Thousand Herbs Garden" in bold, dragon-and-phoenix calligraphy.

Within the garden, there were many Spirit Fruit trees, each protected by a Formation.

Shen Long’s gaze fell upon a white fruit tree, about ten feet tall, with diamond-shaped leaves. Over a hundred silvery white fruits hung on the tree, each with nine spiral patterns on their surface—created by nature itself.

"Nine Orifices Exquisite Immortal Fruit!"

Shen Long gasped in astonishment.

This type of Spirit Fruit originated from the Immortal Realm and had a growth cycle of three hundred thousand years. Eighth Rank Monster Beasts and Monster Birds, and Demon Insects could consume it to increase their chances of evolving into a True Spirit.

Shen Long had obtained a collection of Jade Slips at the Thousand Wood Hall. One of them described a variety of Immortal Fruits, including the Nine Orifices Exquisite Immortal Fruit.

The Seven Stars True Spirit Fruit and the Nine Orifices Exquisite Immortal Fruit bore similarities in their unique effects, but undoubtedly, the Nine Orifices Exquisite Immortal Fruit was superior. It was an Immortal Fruit used by Immortals from the Immortal Realm to cultivate True Spirits.

There were forty-three different kinds of fruit trees in the Thousand Herbs Garden, each with different effects—enhancing Essence Advancing Spiritual Power, detoxifying, healing, strengthening Divine Sense, and curing Divine Soul injuries. The most precious of them was the Nine Orifices Exquisite Immortal Fruit.

Shen Long approached the Nine Orifices Exquisite Immortal Fruit tree, which was covered by a thick aqua-colored light screen.

He threw a punch at the light screen, causing it to dip inward before shattering.

He carefully picked all the Nine Orifices Exquisite Immortal Fruits and placed them into a Jade Box. He then set up a Formation, and with the aid of Treasures, transplanted the Nine Orifices Exquisite Immortal Fruit tree.

Shen Long harvested all the Spirit Fruits and transplanted the fruit trees.

They arrived at the entrance of a two-story Green Pavilion, the signboard bearing the three large characters "Thousand Herbs Pavilion."

Shen Peng pushed open the grand doors of the Thousand Herbs Pavilion, while Shen Chan’s eyes flashed with dazzling golden light, proclaiming, "No restrictions have been detected inside the pavilion."

For safety’s sake, Shen Lang summoned a Human-Shaped Puppet Beast and controlled it to enter first. With nothing amiss, Shen Lang then entered.

Before long, a loud booming sound emanated from inside the pavilion.

After a while, Shen Lang came out and said, "I have taken the Spirit Stones from the Formation; the Thousand Herbs Garden’s defenses have now ceased operation."

Shen Long nodded and stepped inside, coming to a cobblestoned passage with five stone chambers. The door to one of the chambers stood wide open, revealing a vast Formation across a space of several hundred feet.

The Formation was filled with uniformly sized indentations, now empty.

Approaching the second chamber’s doorway, Shen Long exhorted a breath of Qinglian True Flame onto the door.

A swath of aqua-colored flame engulfed the door, which began to show signs of melting before fracturing, revealing a stone chamber a hundred feet in size.

Inside the chamber was a green fruit tree over six feet tall, laden with over a hundred slender fruits, their surfaces etched with profound mystical patterns, crystal clear, with some Fruit Cores scattered on the ground.

"Thousand Jun Fruit!"

Shen Long was overjoyed.

The growth cycle of the Thousand Jun Fruit also spanned three hundred thousand years. It too had been passed down from the Immortal Realm and was exceptional in fortifying one’s body. Immortals in the Immortal Realm often consumed Thousand Jun Fruits to enhance their physical strength.

Shen Long’s body was already very strong, but consuming the Thousand Jun Fruit would make it even stronger.

He picked all the Thousand Jun Fruits and transplanted the tree.

Opening the door to the third stone chamber, a silver fruit tree, over six feet tall, appeared, with over a hundred silver-white fruits hanging on it, bearing seven lightning-like patterns on their surfaces.

"Qixuan Jade Thunder Immortal Fruit! To think it’s this kind of Immortal Fruit, haha."

Shen Long was thrilled.

The growth cycle of the Qixuan Jade Thunder Immortal Fruit also lasted three hundred thousand years. After consumption, it could enhance resistance to the Thunder Method, even surpassing the effects of the Five Thunder Lotus. Its effect was on par with that of an Eighth Rank Absorbing Thunder Pearl. The efficacy of the Qixuan Jade Thunder Immortal Fruit was not inferior to the Eighth Rank Absorbing Thunder Pearl.

The Qixuan Jade Thunder Immortal Fruit was a legacy passed down from the members of the Lin Family in the Immortal Realm. When Mahayana Cultivators of the Lin Family reached the Mahayana Realm, consuming the Qixuan Jade Thunder Immortal Fruit could lead to a higher success rate in overcoming the Ninety-Nine Heavenly Tribulations.
